About the job
Business Analysts ensure that Google makes effective business and operational decisions. As a Business Analyst, your work, whether it's modeling business scenarios, tracking performance metrics or building metrics that matter, is used by our leaders to make strategic company decisions. Working on multiple projects at a time, you'll focus on the details while finding creative ways to take on big picture challenges. You'll lead individual projects to transform planning, tracking and control processes, as well as provide executive level management with insightful recommendations, planning and reporting support.
Google's Corporate Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team focuses on decisions, projects, and processes that impact the entire business. We provide Google's executive leadership with the information and insights they need to set and implement strategy, measure performance, and provide a clear view of the future.
As a Data Science/Analyst for the Business Performance team, you will engineer the predictive models and AI-driven frameworks that power Google's profit and loss forecasting. Beyond traditional reporting, you will be responsible for architecting advanced scenario simulations to project Alphabet's future margin profile and surface algorithmic insights to Corporate FP&A leadership. You will drive the global standardization of financial metrics by partnering with the DNA team to optimize the CFO dashboard as a single source of truth. You will combine your deep data science expertise with broad financial acumen to influence strategy and automate decision-making across the enterprise.
